I was recently asked the question of what type of company would it be more important to analyze the funds flow rather than the cash flow. Can anyone help with this?

This has been asked several times and I've yet to see it get answered.

I tried to Google 'funds flow' -- a perfect site claiming to show the difference between a funds flow and a cash flow wanted me to log in. Sigh. I did get a "funds flow model." It was for a non-profit organization. Is it related to that? (I don't do non-profit and there are areas where they have different rules.) If it is, that might be your answer. Non-profit, government, etc. The model I was looking at was divided into types of things, rather than into operating, financing and investing. For instance, there was a section for grants and a section for service agreements. A grant may be for one very specific use and they have to separate out costs for that usage.

Does this sound like what you're referring to, or am I off on something completely different? Since no one ever seems to answer this, it would be nice to know what it is. If this sounds right, I have a friend who does non-profit and she could explain it to me better.
